NEW YORK (Billboard) - Rock musician Noel
Redding, best known for his stint as the bassist
for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was found dead
Sunday at his home in Ireland of unknown causes,
his manager Ian Grant has confirmed to
Billboard.com. He was 57.

Redding, an accomplished musician based in the
U.K., joined Hendrix's band in 1966 and played on
the three Jimi Hendrix Experience albums --
writing two songs as well as playing bass --
before parting ways with the legendary axeman in
1969.

A statement from Experience Hendrix, which
oversees the late guitarist's catalog, said
Redding's contributions would never be
forgotten. "Our prayers go out to his family and
friends during this difficult time," the firm
said.

Redding also made numerous recordings with his
bands Fat Mattress, Road, and the Noel Redding
Band. The artist's most recent release was a live
album, "Live From Bunkr. Prague," which came out
last year on Grant's Track Records label and
included Hendrix songs. His mother reportedly
died last week.

"I am very shocked to learn of my partner's
death," reads a statement from Redding's
companion Deborah McNaughton, posted by Grant on
the Track Records Web site
(http://www.trackrecords.co.uk). "Noel was
extremely gentle and gracious soul. He had a kind
of chivalry and nobility about him and he was
kind to everyone bar none, people and animals
alike."

In an interview last year with Billboard.com,
Redding recounted his trials and tribulations in
attempting to recover unpaid royalties for his
work with Hendrix. "I should have been a plumber.
That's a joke. But the thing is, plumbers get
paid," he said. "But there again, I'm still
playing, thank God. That's the main thing."

The fight for those royalties has been ongoing,
according to Grant. "We were about to be in court
over it, and we were on top," he says. "And now
he will never know how it turns out. I don't know
what will happen with it now. I've only been
working with him for about two years. I was on a
mission to right the wrongs that had been done to
him.

"In working with him, I know him as a very kind,
considerate man, especially given what happened
to him with royalties and such," Grant adds. "He
struggled at various times to reap the benefits
of that part of his career ... He's now with
Jimi, I guess, and they'll be comparing notes."

Ok, nu har jag fixat senilsnören till mina glasögon, gått med som stödmedlem i PRO, inlett en kurs i varmvattengymnastik och varit med på min första träff med Filatelistföreningen, samt ätit min första lunch på ett servicehus i närheten... [:I][:I][:I]

Dessutom kan senilitet sätta in redan i 30-årsåldern, det visar sig bara olika snabbt[;)][:D] Det är dessutom en väldigt bra ursäkt för det mesta - dåligt minne, dumma frågor, burdust uppförande etc. Utnyttja det!
